Welcome! This site is your gateway to exploring my creative journey through exhibitions, animation, painting, and collaborative projects that explore memory, narrative, and the body.
My work often asks how stories are formed, erased, or altered over time—whether through personal memory, shared history, or imagined futures. I’m drawn to the spaces we inhabit, the objects we surround ourselves with, and the playful, sometimes uneasy ways these shape our sense of self.
In March 2025, I presented The AI Show at Meanwhile Gallery—a live painting experiment exploring authorship, control, and creative labour. Over nine days, an AI generated painting prompts which I executed within strict time limits, testing the tension between machine-driven memory and human intuition.
Beyond The AI Show, you’ll find projects like Black Dog: Failure, Invisible Prague, and The Lost Futures Exchange—works that shift between humour, melancholy, and reflection, always circling back to how we build and carry stories.
Explore the Paintings Gallery for selected works, including pieces from Echoes of Tomorrow at Space Studio Gallery. Some works are available for purchase—please get in touch through the contact page if you’re interested.
Feel free to wander through the site and discover how I use art to navigate personal and universal themes.
